Welcome!

We'd Like to Welcome You to Dead River Company

For many years, Augusta Fuel Company (AFC) has proudly served the heating needs of our friends and neighbors in central Maine. The bonds and friendships that we have formed mean a great deal to us, and we thank you for your continued loyalty.

In June of 2023, AFC made the decision to transfer ownership to Dead River Company. Since that time, the team has been warmly welcomed and has operated under the AFC name as valued members of the Dead River Company family. As of August 9th, we have rebranded AFC to Dead River Company.

A Few Words From Our Customers

Dead River has been an excellent company and very responsive to our needs. They removed our old oil boiler and replaced it with a Bosch propane boiler. We, as an older couple, are totally satisfied with Dead River!

A Few Words From Our Customers

We had an oil furnace removed and put in a new propane furnace. They did it quickly! They were on time and finished a few hours earlier then expected and it's working perfectly! Yes, I would recommend Dead River Company!!

A Few Words From Our Customers

I love the propane heater. The saleswoman I dealt with was easy to work with and the men they sent over for the installation were terrific! This was a great experience!
